Breed Multiplication Farms
Introduction
•At present entrepreneurs/farmers interested in taking up dairy programmeare facing difficulties in
sourcing disease free high yielding heifers or cows
•Breed multiplication farm is proposed to be established through entrepreneurship model for
making available high genetic merit heifers/ cows to farmers .
•It is proposed to make available 50% capital subsidy to interested entrepreneur.
Objective:
•To develop private entrepreneurs for undertaking cattle and buffalo breeding
•To make available disease free high yielding heifers/ pregnant heifers / cows preferably of
indigenous breeds of cattle/buffalo.
•To incentivize private individuals Entrepreneurs, FPOs, SHGs, JLGs, and Section 8 companies for
establishment of breed multiplication farm
Essential Criteria of selection of entrepreneur:
–The entrepreneur-aggregator can be a private individuals, SHGs/FPOs/FCOs/JLGs and Section 8
companies.
–Entrepreneur shall have appropriate experience in breeding or rearing of farm animals
–The entrepreneur will be responsible for arrangement of land of suitable size and location. At
least having ownership/lease deed of land. Land to be sufficient to house 200 animals
–The entrepreneur will establish breed multiplication farm of atleast200 milchcows / buffalo
and using latest breeding technology for continuously upgrading stock.
Breed Multiplication Farms (contd)
Funding pattern:
•Each entrepreneur will be provided one time assistance from Central Government for
establishment of breeder farm @ 50% of project cost and remaining 50% as loan from scheduled
banks/ financial institutions like NCDC
•The funding will be provided in the form of capital cost (except land).
•The subsidy will be routed through NDDB.
Implementing Agency:
•Project will be implemented through NDDB.
Project Approval and Monitoring:
•NDDB will float expression of interest for submission of the project
•Entrepreneur will formulate bankable proposal and submit proposal directly to NDDB.
•Implementing Agency (NDDB) will screen all the application for eligibility.
•Eligible projects will be recommended by Implementing Agency (NDDB) to concerned bank
•Implementing Agency (IA) will obtain proof from the bank that loan has been sanctioned.
•Implementing Agency will submit only those projects of eligible entrepreneur to DAHD for which
bank loan have been credited.
•First installment of the 50% of the subsidy will be released after approval of the project by DAHD.
•After the receipt of the report from Implementing Agency that full infrastructure is in place and
animals have been inducted 25% of the subsidy will be released.
•After receipt of report from Implementing Agency that births of 10% calves have been completed
at the farm, balance 25% of the subsidy amount will be released.
•The assets will be monitored through GIS tagging.
Total Project Cost:
•Amount of Rs 4.00 croreswill be required for establishment of breed multiplication farm .
Therefore, maximum subsidy will not exceed Rs 2.00 crores.

Introduction
•One of important impediment in extending AI coverage in
the country is shortage of trained AI technicians.
•For effective AI coverage about 2,02,469 AI technicians will
be required against this 1,16,586 AI technicians are available
in the country leaving a gap of 90958 AI technicians.
